Taking a look at fifth-year options for 2013 first-round picks
Posted by Zac Jackson on April 13, 2016
Teams have until May 2 to decide whether to pick up fifth-year options for players drafted in first round in 2013. We’re tracking each decision that’s already been made, but here’s a closer look at those that have been made and some tough calls that lie ahead.
ALREADY PICKED UP
The Saints picked up the fifth-year option on safetyKenny Vaccaro earlier this week.
Though the Panthers probably aren’t the only team to have their plans made without actually announcing them, Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said last month that the team will pick up the option on defensive tackle Star Lotulelei, the 14th pick of the 2013 draft.
The Eagles and offensive tackle Lane Johnson already agreed to a new deal.
WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE PICKED UP
Among the other easy calls when it comes to fifth-year options are Sheldon Richardson, Ziggy Ansah, Kyle Long, Tyler Eifert, DeAndre Hopkins,Travis Frederick and Alec Ogletree.
Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant is coming off his first Pro Bowl season and should be in the team’s long-term plans. The 49ers are likely to keep safety Eric Reid, too.
CLOSE CALLS
The top two picks in the 2013 draft were offensive tackles. Neither Eric Fisher norLuke Joeckel has become a star, but the Chiefs and Jaguars might want to just pay up to keep their players for another year rather than let them become free agents. At this point, the Jaguars are probably more likely to pick up Joeckel’s option than the Chiefs are to pick up Fisher’s, but stay tuned.
The Giants will probably keep Justin Pugh, who’s been better since moving inside to guard. The Chargers probably will keep D.J. Fluker, too. Fellow offensive linemenJonathan Cooper and Chance Warmack might be more on the side of unlikely to have their options picked up.
Tavon Austin is a playmaker, and the Rams need all the offense they can get, but it’s no sure thing that the Rams will commit to Austin for another season.
Jarvis Jones became a starting outside linebacker for the Steelers last season, but the Steelers might decide they need the money for other players and not pick up his fifth-year option.
The Broncos will probably pay up to keep Sylvester Williams in the middle of their defense.
While the Vikings are likely to pick up the fifth-year options on defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and cornerback Xavier Rhodes, their third first-round pick of 2013, Cordarrelle Patterson, will land in the next category and be eligible for free agency after this season.
WON’T BE PICKED UP
The only quarterback selected in the 2013 first round, E.J. Manuel, is a backup with the Bills.
Barkevious Mingo is on his third head coach with the Browns and is back to playing for his first defensive coordinator in Ray Horton. But Mingo hasn’t shown the Browns enough to justify the team paying big bucks to him for 2017.
Packers defensive end Datone Jones has not been a starter and has just eight career sacks.
Jets cornerback Dee Milliner hasn’t been healthy or productive. Raiders cornerback DJ Hayden and Ravens safety Matt Elam figure to be allowed to test free agency, too.
NO DECISION TO MAKE
Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan served a suspension that froze his contract, meaning the Dolphins have another year before they have to act on his fifth-year option.
Bjoern Werner was a bust with the Colts and was released last month.
